The apartments are OK. And the staff members work hard to do what they can. But the neighborhood is awful.

What made the whole experience cross the edge for me was this ONE jerk who started shouting at me and my friend who was helping me move out. This guy who lives in the Eddy/Fillmore, T-2 tower said he had to wait "seven minutes for the elevator" and then wait another 10 seconds for my friend to slide in a box. He didn't realize that we were told to use the one available elevator that day because security couldn't reserve the other one, which was still being fixed. This guy acted like a sociopath and was so awful to us. He started shouting "Don't talk to me! Don't talk to me!" when I tried to apologize and explain our situation. If he doesn't want people talking to him, he shouldn't yell at people like a jerk. I feel sorry for staff and neighbors (all of whom were reasonable and understanding about our situation) who encounter him.

As for the surrounding neighborhood, it's sad that people think this level of quality-of-life is normal "urban" living. It's not. In the last year that I had lived there, there were three (at least that I know of) fatal shootings within three blocks; people are shouting and loitering on the streets; people behave with absolutely no decorum and respect; people verbally harass young women on the streets; and people just don't seem to care about where they live (the sidewalks are filthy, I saw a grocery cart in the building and people "smoking" in the stairwell).
